I am writing a ColdFusion app in which I create several files. I need to create a button when pressed will popup a alert box that give you the option to save to disk or open the file.

Thanks,
Darrel

If you are wanting to display the standard 'Download' dialog box which allows the user to save to a location on their PC or open the file directly, all you need to do is have your URL point to the file that they should download; i.e. "ftp.anthonystark.com//Downloads/Business/Textbox_Win_Ex_Setup.CAB" would download a custom Windows textbox from my website.
